Fashion consultant, singer and vocal teacher. Lipstick is my poison, the waist my favourite body part, and I prefer true style over copied trends.

My motto? Be stylish. Always.

There once was a girl

There once was a girl

There once was a girl, and she was in love. She would have found it amusing, how it was just like the books had said – what with the clammy hands and flutters in the stomach and giggles at completely random moments – except that she was way too busy...

Video tutorial: Everyday makeup

Video tutorial: Everyday makeup

What better way to start 2012 than by doing something rather scary I’ve never done before? Susanne and Lillian got a video camera for Christmas, so I thought I’d use the opportunity and play around a bit. I hope you like it, and don’t be afraid to pepper me with questions if you feel the...
Merry Christmas! (and ooh, look, Christmas presents)

Merry Christmas! (and ooh, look, Christmas presents)

Merry Christmas, my darling kittens! I hope you’ve all had a lovely, lovely time so far? I certainly have, with lots of chocolate, Buffy and general merrymaking here in Harstad, my home town. I’ve also received absolutely wonderful Christmas presents. Let’s take a look at some of them, shall we? First, the perfect everyday leather...
Outfit: Susanne and Lillian

Outfit: Susanne and Lillian

Dresses: Nelly.com, sequin pumps: Tamaris, hair decoration: Glitter I know I mention my sister Cookie a lot, probably because we live in the same city – the same apartment, even. Still, we have two more sisters: Lillian (left) and Susanne (right). I made them swap places for this shot, so Susanne is on the left...
Blue and Grenadine

Blue and Grenadine

I tried on this top about two months ago, fell in love with the colour and shape and fabric, but for some crazy reason didn’t buy it. Last week I stopped by an H&M, and told myself that if they still had it in my size, it would mean we were meant for each other....
Last Night

Last Night

(all images are clickable for larger versions) I tend to fall completely and utterly head over heels in love with some movies. I loved Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind so much that I named my blog after them. I watch the former one at least once every other month. It...

Thursday/Yesterday

Thursday/Yesterday

Bright and early, up 7.30 am for a meeting. Don’t let the picture fool you, that light comes from a lamp nearby, not the sun. It’s usually pitch dark around this time, which makes it almost impossible to get out of bed. I tend to watch Pixiwoo videos while eating breakfast. This Katy Perry tutorial...
Fabrics for Dummies: all those random things

Fabrics for Dummies: all those random things

Finally, the final post about fabrics (and thank-you-glitter to Maja for adding her own tips and being a fabulous cheerleader). It’s a little text-heavy, but I’m sure you can handle it. I hope this has been helpful, and that you’re all a little less lost (say that three times fast) when you’re out in those...
Outfit post (as requested)

Outfit post (as requested)

Dress: H&M, coat: Baretti, necklace-belt-and-bag: 2nd hand, shoes: Roots. I seem to have found a solution to my problems about outfit posts! Her name is Ingvild, and she is one of my favourite girls in the world. Last week she mentioned how she could take pictures for me, if I wanted – such a brilliant...

Polyvore: Working Maria

All polyvores by me, click the images for more info No, not as in working-the-streets-Maria, but simply at-work-Maria. In case you’re somewhat new here, work for me is at the fashion consultant department of Imageakademiet in Oslo, teaching PhotoShop (and sometimes other subjects) and guiding students as they work with their styling portfolios. There is...
Fabrics for Dummies: natural fibres

Fabrics for Dummies: natural fibres

Time for another post about fabrics for dummies, don’t you think? This time, natural fibres. As wool got its own post, this one will cover the rest of the most common naturals: cotton, linen and silk. A post on leather/fur might come up at a later point once I get to study up on them....
I'm still here

I’m still here

Yes, still here, just a bit… well, you know. Blue. The problem is that once you haven’t blogged in, say, two weeks, it feels like your next post has to be super-epic to make up for your absence. But because of the reason for your absence, a super-epic post just isn’t doable. That doesn’t mean...
